God bless this post. I play with people locally online and the connection is near-perfect with no latency. Distance is a HUGE factor in latency, if not the biggest. I don't know if it's possible to implement it into Smash 4, but Nintendo should definitely have regional matchmaking for Smash NX. If they want Smash scenes to grow then they need to make sure there's a way for people to get good using only the internet and no local play. I play and TO local tournaments in a small region, and I'm blessed to do so, but not everyone has the luxury of being able to play and compete with others. This is an integral feature that has to be addressed!

Was going through a "Guile's Theme goes with everything" playlist on youtube and this combo crossed my mind. I got hype just watching it! What better time to relive this moment then after a sweep of the same team we beat in that very game?

Not to discredit NAKAT's Lucas play, but Ally looked lost, like he wasn't ready for the match-up. Nakat has moves but I wouldn't say he "showed the true potential" of the character. Give Lucas some time to simmer...then you will behold his true power!

Ryu does NOT have a one hit KO move. He does have a powerful kill move in manual-Shoryuken. the input is (facing your opponent) down, right,down(slide the stick down and to the right, then back down again) and a.

So you're telling me the Afghanistan Heroine industry, the New York Port Authority, investors of the military-industrial complex, Isreal(some argue) all benefited from 9/11 in some way, and it also in some terrible way made the city skyline look better? What is wrong with the world we live in?

In reference to that Famitsu article where Sakurai said that when they balance the game Sakurai has always had a huge say in things but he truly listens to QA as well. That being said, you've got to think that like /u/azlef900 said a playtester got good at spamming projectile approaches and upsmashes(basically for glory Link) and Sakurai whipped out the banhammer. I say this because in no reality could Samus ever be considered a strong character. Even by the always out-of-touch Sakurai. (still luv u Sakurai)

Most people feign happiness though. I work with strangers(customers) face-to-face every day, so I ask God to be with me and to shine through me. People say things like ("You must really love your job") and I don't really, it's just that God gives me patience and strength.

Nintendo has been using Nintendo Directs for 2 years and both times they've done huge directs RIGHT before E3. They've shown they care less and less about their E3 conference, because of the oversaturation of the event and constantly being compared to other companies(i.e. "Who won E3 this year?"). Nintendo Directs make sure that they have the spotlight and they can make a prerecorded/edited video for optimal presentation. I personally love them!

As King Dedede, Yoshi is brutal for multiple reasons, but mainly because he has priority over everything KD3 does and Yoshi carves Dedede up like a Christmas ham in the air because of his low aerial speed. As Ness, Pit is a particularly hard matchup(ESPECIALLY OFFSTAGE). Pit's arrows are stupid. Just so stupid.
